Calay Harbor

The harbor adjacent to the Capital City of Quur at the mouth of the Senlay River.

Location
Located at the mouth of the Senlay River where it meets the sea, and adjacent to the Capital City, is Calay Harbor. It is between the Quur domains of Eamithon and Khorvesh.

Description
The stone sided harbor is a large half circle and except for occasions such as New Years is constantly active (though this may not be entirely true given the motivations of the source). It is guarded by the Jade Gate, which is rarely closed. The wharf spills into the Lower Circle's Merchant Quarter and Velvet Town, the closeness of which is often taken advantage of by sailors."'The artificial stone-wrought harbor of the Capital formed a half-circle as the sculpted breakwaters reached out toward the bay like a greedy demon's claw.'"

Trade
As the main non-magical trading point to the Capital, the Harbor is usually constantly busy with ships from all over the continents bearing all types of goods. For more information on what is traded in Quur see: The Capital City of Quur "'The harbor was busy with frantic activity. Trading ships from Kazivar delivered grains and wines. The large loggers from Kirpis arrived with hardwood and cedars. The small Khorveshan merchants offloaded carpets, textiles, herbs, and dyes. Ships from Zherias and Doltar added their own mercantile imports and purchased exports to the overall clamor of background noise.Most of all, I found my gaze drawn to the bloated slave ships hulking by the side of the harbor to unload their grizzly living cargo.'"
